Meghan woke up to a crowd of people hazily moving around her. It was obvious to her that something had happened, as the atmosphere felt dense. She looked around. She could see her father and mother standing up, and then one look at the edge of the bed were her sister and her fiance, Harry. She was on his lap as they sat cozy on the bed. Despite their loved up position, she could tell quite easily from the expression plastered to Sophie's face that something had happened. "Well, welcome sleepy head." A familiar voice said softly beside her. "We thought you would never wake up from your slumber. Are you okay?" She looked at the person talking, and somehow, in some way, she really expected and hoped that it would be Gavin before she would answer any question. She wanted to give him a piece of her mind. With a turn of her neck, she found that it was James. She wanted to smile at him, but found no strength in her to do so. A pulsating pain erupted in her head, and she placed her palm o

The C.S.O returned to work the following morning with a smile stretched across his face. He could see clearly as he got in the vicinity that they were strange faces and a number of changes that had occured in the relatively short time he had stayed away. He became confused, but nonetheless did not have nearly enough time to observe the area. He had to see his boss and report himself. He could already guess that the middle aged man was already throwing a trantum that his Chief Security Officer was away.He arrived at the office, knocked and went inside. He saw Brax Connelly penning down on a few documents, his signature. The man turned to look at him, still with the customary grim look on his face. But despite this, Ron could tell that there was something different about the man. A soft look in his eyes that told that indeed something had happened."Good morning, sir." Ron said, his eyes looking from left to right, noticing the tiny changes that had occured in the office."And what, t

The look on the Lieutenant's face was that of shock. He was silent for a moment as he thought about what to do. The look of shock on his face slowly dissolved into a confused one."But, Mr Brax..." He swallowed and looked down at his table. "I already told you that this case is not in my hands. Why take it out on me? You know how important those shares...""Oh! You care about the shares? You care about that and not a man who has been held here for days for no sensible reason?""Forgive me, but I do not even know who this man is. Why are you so interested in him?""That is none of your business, Lieutenant." Mr Brax spat. His furrowed brows sat gently above his eyes as he stared intensely at the man before him."But, this case..." He replied dryly and in a hesitant manner as he looked around the room. That was the only way to escape the piercing eyes of angry Brax."If you're sticking with that story, then I guess the shares aren't as important as I thought they were." He turned to lea

The maid stared at him with disgust as he walked past her. Immediately he was out the door, she shut it loudly. He sighed as he slipped his hands in to his pockets and walked to the waiting taxi. "Let's go." He said immediately he got in to the vehicle. For a moment in their forty minute journey, he thought about what he had seen in his in-laws' home. He only left because she asked him to, and also because he didn't want to cause a scene, nor did he want to make matters worse with Meghan."We are here." The driver said abruptly, suddenly drawing him back to reality."Oh, okay." He smiled dryly and got out of the car. "Please, hold on while I go get some cash." The driver nodded with a stone cold expression on his face. As Gavin rushed in to the house, he was greeted by a disorganized house. He shook his head softly and went in to the bedroom to get the money. In no time, he rushed out of the house once more. "Here. Keep the change."The driver's eyes widened at the wad of cash given

It was almost 10am that morning. The sky was brightly lit by the hot, yellow sun, beaming its light against all that roamed the world beneath it. Gavin left the house in a hurry. He was on his way to see his wife. The day before, she wasn't in so much of a good mood and didn't want to see him. But he hoped that she would this time around.Barely an hour later, he arrived at her parents' house. The environment looked peaceful and serene like it always did. He walked slowly towards the door, wondering if he would be let in this time. He knocked on the door, and the maid that had opened the door for him before stood in the door way."Who is it, Beth?" He heard someone ask. It seemed to be Meghan's mother asking. The maid closed the door before she answered."It is the man from yesterday." She said in an irritated manner."What man?" She asked further with a frown on her face. "The one who forced his way in. I think he came to see ma'am Meghan.""Well, tell the bastard to leave at once.
